Generating Code

Abstract

So far we have explored the benefits of moving business logic from application code to reference data in the database. You saw how hand-coding business rules in your application logic can lead to brittle code that’s not resilient to change. At the very least, this code can leave you less responsive to changes in the marketplace, which could leave you out of the marketplace all together. We then explored various strategies for storing different types of business rules in variations on a standard decision table.
